Again I'll ask, if I roll up onto a Trump rally with a 'FUCK TRUMP' shirt, some ghetto tactical gear, an AR-15 and a sidearm, am I the aggressor? Or am I just some random citizen definitely totally not looking to start some shit?
So when's the next Trump rally again?

the feds could go with a civil rights case

I think the judge in this case made it harder to convict with his stipulations during the case.

Well let's see the aftermath from this verdict. Not just people bring upset with this verdict. I'm personally more concerned how many more snowflakes will patrol with their guns everywhere now.

Not surprised by the verdict but I'll be curious to see how this plays out in the future. I can only imagine that this will empower more right wing militia type people to attend black lives matter rallies, which means more people will be killed by them.

what do you want to bet he ends up dead down the line.
No. He's going to be around for the next 5 years at least as a conservative commentator and gun rights advocate. He will make bank appearing for 30 seconds on various conservative TV news stations. Will be a millionaire by the time this is over. Conservative media darling. All of this because he shot two people to death and shot a third.

Sooner or later liberals will come to the conclusion that the only option that remains to them is to also be heavily armed.

Not surprised by the verdict on the homicide charges, but I was hoping at least he would be convicted on the reckless endangerment charges. I know there are specific meanings for legal terms, but if walking into a potential riot with an assault rifle is not "reckless", I dont know what is.

And what the hell is all this blubbering in court? I sure didnt see him carrying on like this after shooting people.

Perhaps it is beneath me or whatever but I some times regret the tree didn't have better aim.

And since they now live in Wisconsin, he doesn’t have to worry about getting to keep his gun.

as expected. not guilty all counts. Rittenhouse is free

Can't believe anyone would have reasonably expected anything different after being presented with all the evidence. The only way he could have been found guilty is if they had allowed mail in voting. ;)

Or maybe in a different city with a sequestered jury. I don’t believe for one second that they went home and never listened to their fav news sources.
